Our Big Brothers Community Program pairs you with a Little Buddy based on personality and shared interests to build a supportive one-to-one relationship based on trust, connection, and fun!

You will spend two or more hours once per week doing free or low-cost activities you both enjoy and are paired for a minimum of one year.

• Male, trans, or gender-diverse who is 18+.
• Reliable, consistent, dedicated, and respectful of others.

Big Brothers Community Mentees are

• Boys, trans, and gender-diverse children and youth ages 7 to 14.
• Children or youth who would benefit from having a positive role model in their life.

Urgent need for volunteers! Some of our Littles have been waiting more than two years to be matched with their Big Brother.

Training

• You will be supported throughout your match by one of our experienced case workers, also known as a Mentoring Coordinator.
• No prior experience working with children is necessary. Free training is provided!
